Benefits of technology

This patent describes an apparatus for make-up application that includes a semi-transparent surface that can reflect a user's view on the opposite side. The apparatus also has a support for holding a client device with a display. The semi-transparent surface can be used as a mirror when the client device is not in use. Additionally, the apparatus can have a compartment for holding cosmetic material connected to the support with a flexible hinge. The semi-transparent surface can also function as a standard mirror and have input areas for direct user interaction. The technical effects of this patent include improved make-up application and a more convenient and user-friendly experience for users.

Problems solved by technology

While consumers aspire to recreate the looks of celebrities, a lack of formal training often limits the complexity of cosmetic techniques that may be attempted.
This experience, however, is not easily translated to a daily routine where time is limited and efficiency is paramount.
The tedium therein leaves consumers with few choices for efficient and confident makeup application of new styles in a daily routine.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system for confident daily make-up application comprising a makeup compact and a client device. The system may be applied to specific facial features or entire faces for a complete style. The client device is configured to provide an interactive user experience by displaying templated instructions for makeup application. Templated instructions provide a ‘paint-by-numbers’ approach to daily makeup application. The makeup compact further comprises a client device housing, wherein the client device can be docked for the duration of makeup application and coaching. The client device housing is separated from a protective cover by a semi-transparent display that can allow for tactile interaction with the client device. The semi-transparent display, therefore, in this orientation, serves as a back projection plane, wherein the template instruction from the client device is communicated to the user as it appears on the semi-transparent display.

The tedium therein leaves consumers with few choices for efficient and confident makeup application of new styles in a daily routine. To this end, a portable, user-friendly makeup application system that makes it possible to apply complex techniques for daily use has yet to be developed.[0003]The foregoing “Background” description is for the purpose o...
